Introducing PAL: Humans Lending a Helping Hand, Animals Lending a Helping Paw.
Have you ever needed a PAL?
PAL volunteer dogs, accompanied by their volunteer owners, are out and about bringing the superhuman power of animals to nursing homes and treatment programs, to the lonely and the sick, and to others who need the amazingly therapeutic, miraculously curative and positively uplifting powers of a cold wet nose.
Animals. Kids love 'em − they love to play with dogs and cats, watch whales and polar bears on TV and visit bats and orangutans at the zoo. PAL after-school Club and summer Camp uses children's natural affinity for animals to spark academic learning and teach animal-friendly behavior. This animal-centric science program serves lower-income children in the classroom and beyond. Children get priceless lessons in compassion, responsibility and respect.
